Bio
I am a Research Assistant Professor at Northwestern University. I received my PhD in Communication Science and Disorders from the University of Pittsburgh.
My research focuses on the neurobiology and plasticity underlying speech processing using neurophysiological and cognitive computational neuroscience approaches. My research goals are to develop neurobiologically-informed rehabilitative approaches for speech perception in noise difficulties. My current research aims to develop a mechanistic understanding of the neurocognitive sources underlying individual differences in speech perception in noise in aging.
